Hy-Vee Light Ranch

Breakdown

8 ingredients to avoid

Hy-Vee Light Ranch scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Hy-Vee Light Ranch lists 24 ingredients, starting with Water, Soybean Oil, Maltodextrin, Vinegar and Sugar. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Hy-Vee Light Ranch scores worse than most salad dressings we have scored. A higher-scoring option in salad dressings is Primal Kitchen Ranch Avocado Oil Dressing & Marinade 8 fl oz at 86/100.
